A member of the ruling Zanu PF reportedly accused a party mate of being an MDC-T supporter and blocked her from taking up a position as a women's league chair.
Zimbabwe Peace Project reported that on 9 November 2015 at Sengwe, senior members of Zanu-PF in Hurungwe West who failed to stand in as district candidates had harsh words for interim candidates.
"They accused those who qualified to be sell outs. Joseph Sande the former youth chairperson allegedly prevented the people's favourite, Georgina
Hoka, from taking the position of women's league chair," reads the report. "The reason she was not allowed to take the post is that her late husband was a member of MDC-T."
Sande was defeated by a newcomer as people supposedly did not want him as he is notorious for being cruel during the elections.
"He is said to have taken part in the assault of village heads towards the June 10 elections in 2008. Generally the women in the area whose husbands are opposition members were denied to participate in community activities even though their husbands were forced to surrender their party regalia," ZPP said.
